Modern Fabrics is a dedicated online destination for high-quality designer textiles, specializing in reclaimed materials that save and repurpose exquisite fabrics otherwise destined for landfills. Founded with a commitment to eco-sustainability, the company sources fabrics from top luxury furniture manufacturers across the United States, making them available to consumers at significantly reduced prices—between 50% to 75% off the retail price. Their range includes a wide variety of fabrics suitable for residential and commercial use, encompassing options from brands like Maharam, Knoll Textiles, and Schumacher, to name a few.
Modern Fabrics recognizes the alarming amount of textile waste generated by the furniture industry, particularly with 'Customers' Own Material' (COM). By offering a marketplace for overstocks and surplus materials, the company seeks to mitigate environmental impact while catering to a growing demand for sustainable design practices among consumers. Their offerings are not just limited to upholstery but also include materials suitable for crafting bags, quilts, and various household items, appealing to both designers and DIY enthusiasts.
The company operates with the belief that every yard of fabric can find a new life, actively advocating for conscious consumerism in the textile industry. Small yet impactful, Modern Fabrics has taken significant steps towards sustainability by incorporating hybrid vehicles into their logistics and establishing partnerships with manufacturers to manage waste responsibly. They are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and encourage their customers to do the same. With their rich collection of modern and vintage fabrics, Modern Fabrics aims not only to beautify spaces but also to reshape the fabric industry's approach to sustainability—proving that stylish choices can be eco-friendly. Through their platform, they drive a conversation about recycling, upcycling, and the future of sustainable living in fabric design.
